Call Me Green

You make me think of dark December, with all your secrets in the ground
You own extensive tracts of property, Oh I think that shouldn't be allowed
And I can sense your inhibitions - I make you cringe on the dance floor
Foreign films on rainy evenings, your front hallway stacked with art
Sunday papers, light conversation, I see you live a life apart
Though I've been slow to get the message, I don't regret the way we spent the hours
Oh would you dance close to me? Over here it doesn't mean a thing
Oh, my mouth is open, so it is, at all the places that you've been
All the movies that you've seen, all the famous people that you know
Call me green
I'd make you think of early springtime, I'd melt your winter with my charms
I'd read the papers, know my politics, I'd even learn to park the car
Might take a crash course in the Beatles but there's love and then there's trying too hard
Oh would you dance close to me? Over here it doesn't mean a thing
Oh, my mouth is open, so it is, at all the places that you've been
All the movies that you've seen, all the famous people that you know
Call me green
And oh how we squirm at fate,
Maybe you were born too early or I was born too late
Oh how we squirm at fate,
Maybe you were born too early or I was born too late
Oh would you dance close to me? Over here it doesn't mean a thing
Oh, my mouth is open, so it is, at all the places that you've been
All the movies that you've seen, all the famous people that you know
Call me green
